Previous Student Feedback

Feedback, Recommendations and Responses

Every unit is reviewed for enhancement each year. At the most recent review, the following staff and student feedback items were identified and recommendations were made.

Feedback from Student evaluations.

Feedback

Students enjoyed the Residential school. They felt it assisted their learning and was a great experience overall. They enjoyed the practical tasks and talks from presenters in the dental profession and industry. They benefited from meeting other students in the same cohort as well as second and third year students.

Recommendation

The residential school will remain as part of the unit in 2019.

Feedback from Student evaluations.

Feedback

Oral Presentations. Students felt that it was unfair that students were still working on their laptops during presentations while other students were delivering their presentations.

Recommendation

The Oral Presentations are included in this first year unit for students to develop their communication skills and to learn about the workplaces and roles of an Oral Health Therapist. The preparation and research for the presentation are also part of the learning experience and extend the knowledge of the students beyond the learning material delivered in the unit. Students in the classroom also benefit by listening and learning from the experience and research of others. In future, students will submit their presentations on file prior to the session.

Feedback from Emails and student evaluations.

Feedback

Students appreciated the quick turnaround for distance students for answers to questions. They thought this was helpful and very encouraging.

Recommendation

Communication with students is one of the most important roles of a unit coordinator, especially for distance students. This will continue to be a priority in 2019.

Feedback from In class.

Feedback

Students felt they were not given clear instructions at residential school on the completion of their workbook.

Recommendation

Instructions have always been written clearly in the workbook, however time will be set aside to explain what must be recorded and the standards expected in 2019.

Unit Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of this unit, you will be able to:
  1. Describe tooth structure, periodontal tissue and dentition for children and adults, and describe and recognise stages of development in occlusion and malocclusion.

Academic Integrity Statement

As a CQUniversity student you are expected to act honestly in all aspects of your academic work.

Any assessable work undertaken or submitted for review or assessment must be your own work. Assessable work is any type of work you do to meet the assessment requirements in the unit, including draft work submitted for review and feedback and final work to be assessed.

When you use the ideas, words or data of others in your assessment, you must thoroughly and clearly acknowledge the source of this information by using the correct referencing style for your unit. Using others’ work without proper acknowledgement may be considered a form of intellectual dishonesty.

Participating honestly, respectfully, responsibly, and fairly in your university study ensures the CQUniversity qualification you earn will be valued as a true indication of your individual academic achievement and will continue to receive the respect and recognition it deserves.

As a student, you are responsible for reading and following CQUniversity’s policies, including the Student Academic Integrity Policy and Procedure. This policy sets out CQUniversity’s expectations of you to act with integrity, examples of academic integrity breaches to avoid, the processes used to address alleged breaches of academic integrity, and potential penalties.

What is a breach of academic integrity?

A breach of academic integrity includes but is not limited to plagiarism, self-plagiarism, collusion, cheating, contract cheating, and academic misconduct. The Student Academic Integrity Policy and Procedure defines what these terms mean and gives examples.

Why is academic integrity important?

A breach of academic integrity may result in one or more penalties, including suspension or even expulsion from the University. It can also have negative implications for student visas and future enrolment at CQUniversity or elsewhere. Students who engage in contract cheating also risk being blackmailed by contract cheating services.

Where can I get assistance?

For academic advice and guidance, the Academic Learning Centre (ALC) can support you in becoming confident in completing assessments with integrity and of high standard.
